Definitions
- This invention relates to the production of saturated hydrocarbons from synthesis gas. Some examples of the invention relate to the production of liquefied petroleum gas from synthesis gas. Some aspects of the invention may also find application in relation to the production of liquid fuels for example gasoline. Some aspects of the invention may find application in relation to an integrated system for the production of saturated hydrocarbons.
- LPG Liquefied petroleum gas
- propane and butane have environmentally relatively benign characteristics and widely been used as a so-called clean fuel.
- LPG has been produced as a byproduct of liquefaction of natural gas, or as a byproduct of refinery operations.
- LPG obtained by such methods generally consists of mainly propane and n-butane mixtures.
- Alternative sources for LPG would be desirable.
- Synthesis of LPG from syngas is potentially a useful route as it would allow for the conversion of diverse feedstocks, for example natural gas, biomass, coal, tar sands and refinery residues.
- the conversion of methanol to C 2 and C 3 products as exemplified in the methanol to olefins (MTO) and methanol to propylene (MTP) is well known, for example as described in US Patent No. 6613951.
- MTO methanol to olefins
- MTP methanol to propylene
- the selectivity may be limited and products may consist predominantly of C 2 and C 3 olefins.
- MTO methanol to olefins
- MTP methanol to propylene
- a catalyst system for the production of saturated hydrocarbons, in particular C 3 and higher hydrocarbons, combining an improved selectivity and high activity with improved lifetime would be desirable.
- an integrated process for the generation of saturated C 3 and higher hydrocarbons from carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen comprising the steps of:
- reaction conditions and other parameters of the two stages can be optimized independently.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst is preferably active to produce methanol in the first stage.
- the catalyst of the first stage may include a methanol conversion catalyst.
- the intermediate product may therefore include methanol.
- the catalyst of the second stage preferably includes a dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst.
- the catalyst or hybrid catalyst
- the catalyst might be a hydrogenation catalyst in the second stage.
- this may be provided by a single catalyst, by a hybrid catalyst having both dehydration and hydrogenation activity and/or by including two or more different catalyst components which may or may not be mixed or juxtaposed in the second stage.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may be active to produce dimethyl ether (DME) in the first stage.
- DME dimethyl ether
- both methanol and DME are produced in the first stage.
- the intermediate product stream may include DME and/or methanol.
- the production of methanol from carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen is equilibrium limited.
- the production of DME direct from carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen is less equilibrium limited.
- Pressure can be used to increase the yield, as the reaction which produces methanol exhibits a decrease in volume, as disclosed in US Patent No. 3326956.
- Improved catalysts have allowed viable rates of methanol formation to be achieved at relatively low reaction temperatures, and hence allow commercial operation at lower reaction pressures.
- a CuO/ZnO/Al 2 0 3 conversion catalyst may be operated at a nominal pressure of 5-10 MPa and at temperatures ranging from approximately 150 degrees C to 300 degrees C.
- reduction in catalyst lifetime has commercially been found to be a problem.
- a low-pressure, copper-based methanol synthesis catalyst is commercially available from suppliers such as BASF and Haldor- Topsoe. Methanol yields from copper-based catalysts are generally over 99.5% of the converted carbon oxide(s) present. Water is a by-product of the conversion of C0 2 to methanol and the conversion of synthesis gas to C 2 and C 2+ oxygenates. In the presence of an active water gas-shift catalyst, such as a methanol catalyst or a cobalt molybdenum catalyst, the water equilibrates with the carbon monoxide to give C0 2 and hydrogen.
- an active water gas-shift catalyst such as a methanol catalyst or a cobalt molybdenum catalyst
- the conversion of methanol or DME to higher olefins may be catalysed by acidic supports such as zeolites, as exemplified in the MTO process. This reaction is characterized by its high temperatures, typically above that employed for a methanol or DME synthesis catalyst.
- the process conditions must be suitable for chain growth from the DME to the corresponding olefins prior to hydrogenation.
- methanol- and/or DME- generating catalyst can be run at conditions more suitable for improved conversion, selectivity, and/or longer catalyst life.
- the first stage temperature is lower than the second stage temperature.
- the temperature of the first stage may be less than 300 degrees C.
- the temperature of the first stage is less than 295 degrees C, for example not more than 280 degrees C, for example not more than 250 degrees C.
- the temperature of the first stage may be between from about 190 to 250 degrees C, for example between from about 210 to 230 degrees C. In practical systems, it is likely that the temperature will vary across the reaction stage.
- the temperature of the stage is measured as an average temperature across a reaction region.
- the temperature of the second stage may be more than 300 degrees C.
- the temperature of the second stage will be 320 degrees C or more. In some examples, a temperature of 340 degrees C or more will be preferred. In some examples the temperature of the second stage will be between from about 330 to 360 degrees C. In many cases it will be preferable for the temperature of the second stage to be less than 450 degrees C, for example less than 420 degrees C, or for example less than 400 degrees C which may prolong the life of the catalyst. Depending on the target products, other temperatures may be used for the second stage.
- the first and second stages may be operated at the same or at different pressures. Both stages may be operated for example at a pressure less than 40 bar. In some examples, it will be preferable for the second stage to be operated at a pressure lower than that of the first stage.
- a further aspect of the invention provides an integrated process for the generation of saturated C 3 and higher hydrocarbons from carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen, the process comprising the steps of:
- a relatively high pressure could be used for the carbon oxide(s) conversion stage, for example to increase CO conversion, while hydrocarbon conversion of the second stage could be carried out at a lower pressure.
- the pressure of the second stage may be not more than 1.0 MPa in some examples.
- the second stage may be operated at a pressure of between from about 0. IMPa to 1.0 MPa.
- the pressure of the second stage may be 0. IMPa.
- the first stage may be operated at a pressure of less than 40 bar, less than 20 bar, or less than 10 bar. In some examples, a significantly higher pressure may be desirable.
- the second stage may be operated at a pressure of less than 20 bar, less than 10 bar, or less than 5 bar. In some examples, a significantly higher pressure may be desirable.
- the pressure of the second stage in some examples it will be preferable for the pressure of the second stage to be at least IMPa. In some examples it will be preferable for the pressure of the second stage to be less than about 2MPa; in some examples, the selectivity of the process to methane is significant, which will be
- the gas hourly space velocity of the first stage may be for example between about 500 and 6000, for example between about 500 and 3000.
- the gas hourly space velocity of the second stage may be for example between about 500 and 20000, for example between about 1000-10000.
- the gas hourly space velocity is defined as the number of bed volumes of gas passing over the catalyst bed per hour at standard temperature and pressure.
- a more flexible system provides the two stages in separate vessels. At least a portion of the intermediate product stream (or effluent) exiting the first stage preferably passes directly to the second stage. Preferably, substantially all of the intermediate product stream passes to the second stage.
- additional second stage influent components can be added to the intermediate stream upstream of the second stage.
- addition of hydrogen and/or DME may be carried out.
- the intermediate stream may be subject to operations for example heat exchange upstream of the second stage and/or pressure adjustment, for example pressure reduction.
- Each of the stages may include any appropriate catalyst bed type, for example fixed bed, fluidized bed, moving bed.
- the bed type of the first and second stages may be the same or different.
- Potential application for example for the second stage is the use of a moving bed or paired bed system, for example a swing bed system, in particular where catalyst regeneration is desirable.
- the process is a gas phase process.
- the feed to the process comprises carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen.
- Any appropriate source of carbon oxides for example carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide
- Processes for producing mixtures of carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen are well known. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of using a particular reforming process over another is normally governed by economic and available feed stream considerations, as well as by the desire to obtain the desired (H 2 - C0 2 ):(CO+C0 2 ) molar ratio in the resulting gas mixture, that is suitable for further processing.
- Synthesis gas as used herein preferably refers to mixtures containing carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide with hydrogen.
- Synthesis gas may for example be a combination of hydrogen and carbon oxides produced in a synthesis gas plant from a carbon source such as natural gas, petroleum liquids, biomass and carbonaceous materials including coal, recycled plastics, municipal wastes, or any organic material.
- the synthesis gas may be prepared using any appropriate process for example partial oxidation of hydrocarbons (POX), steam reforming (SR), advanced gas heated reforming (AGHR), microchannel reforming (as described in, for example, US Patent No. 6,284,217), plasma reforming, autothermal reforming (ATR) and any combination thereof.
- the synthesis gas source used in the present invention preferably contains a molar ratio of (H 2 -C0 2 ):(CO+C0 2 ) ranging from 0.6 to 2.5.
- the gas composition to which the catalyst is exposed will generally differ from such a range due to for example gas recycling occurring within the reaction system.
- a syngas feed molar ratio (as defined above) of 2: 1 is commonly used, whereas the catalyst may experience a molar ratio of greater than 5 : 1 due to recycle.
- the gas composition experienced by the catalyst in the first stage may initially be for example between from about 0.8 to 7, for example from about 2 to 3.
- Carbon oxide(s) conversion catalysts are commonly water gas shift active.
- the water gas shift reaction is the equilibrium of H 2 and C0 2 with CO and H 2 0.
- the reaction conditions in the first stage preferably favour the formation of H 2 and C0 2 .
- the reaction stoichiometry requires a synthesis gas molar ratio of 2: 1.
- the reaction coproduces water which is shifted with CO to C0 2 and hydrogen.
- the synthesis gas molar ratio (as defined above) requirement is also 2: 1 but here a reaction product is C0 2 .
- the second stage reaction in the case of methanol synthesis in the first stage is thought to comprise initial conversion to DME and water, and subsequent conversion of DME to C 3 and higher saturated hydrocarbons and water.
- the second stage reaction in the case of DME synthesis in the first stage is thought to comprise only the stages of DME conversion to C 3 and higher saturated hydrocarbons and water.
- the product mixture additionally includes carbon dioxide.
- the choice of conversion used in the first stage may impact on the choice of catalyst and/or operating conditions of the second stage.
- a catalyst of the second stage which is water sensitive may be preferably used in combination with a DME producing catalyst in the first stage.
- the carbon oxides conversion catalyst preferably comprises a methanol conversion catalyst.
- the carbon oxides conversion catalyst may include Cu, or Cu and Zn.

- zeolite as used herein may also include SAPOs.
- SAPO Silicoalumino phosphates
- SAPO Silicoalumino phosphates
- SAPO materials include microporous materials having micropores formed by ring structures, including 8, 10 or 12 - membered ring structures.
- Some SAPO compositions which have the form of molecular sieves have a three- dimensional microporous crystal framework structure of P0 2 + , A10 2 " , and Si0 2 tetrahedral units.
- the ring structures give rise to an average pore size of from about 0.3 nm to about 1.5 nm or more.
- SAPO molecular sieves examples include SAPO molecular sieves and methods for their preparation.
- Other microporous compositions might be used.
- metal organosilicates, silicalites and/or crystalline aluminophosphates could be used.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may comprise a copper oxide.
- the catalyst may further include one or more metal oxides including Cu, Zn, Ce, Zr, Al, and Cr.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may comprise Cu/Zn oxides for example on alumina.
- the catalyst may comprise CuO-ZnO-Al 2 0 3 .
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may include an acidic support.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may include a zeolite and/or a SAPO, for example may include an acidic zeolite and/or a SAPO with stable structure like Mordenite, Y, ZSM-5, SAPO-11, SAPO-34. .
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may comprise one or more of ZSM-5 and SAPO- 11.
- the content of the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst in the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst/Ml -zeolite may be 20-80% (wt %), for example 30-60%(wt%), the percentage preferably being the ratio of the oxides to the zeolite, the measurement preferably being made for dry catalysts.
- the hydrogenation catalyst may preferably include a metal, for example Pd.
- the second stage includes an acidic support.
- the second stage includes a molecular sieve or crystalline microporous composition.
- the second stage may include a zeolite.

- the second stage may for example include a mixture of zeolite and SAPO.
- microporous compositions might be used as the support.
- metal organosilicates, silicalites and/o crystalline aluminophosphates could be used.
- a metal may also be included, for example one or more of Pd, Ru and Rh.

- the second stage may include for example Pd-Y, Pd-SAPO-5, Ru-SAPO-5, Pd-Beta especially for Pd-Y and Pd-SAPO-5.
- Cu would not be used for the second stage metal, because in examples it would not be suitable for the second stage due to its sintering at high temperature.
- the content of the metal in the second stage catalyst may be for example from 0.01 to 20 wt%.
- the dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst may include a catalyst for conversion of methanol to C 3+ hydrocarbons, and/or the dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst may include a catalyst for conversion of DME to C 3+ hydrocarbons.

- the dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst may include a catalyst for conversion of DME to C 4 to C 7 hydrocarbons.
- the catalyst for conversion of DME to C 4 to C 7 hydrocarbons may comprise Pd-modified SAPO-5.
- the process may further include the step of carrying out a regeneration of catalyst of the second stage. It is known that the MTO, MTP and MTG processes require frequent regeneration of the catalysts.
- One source of deactivation is the build up of coke formed on the catalysts during the reaction.
- One way of removing such coke build up is by a controlled combustion method.
- Other methods include washing of the catalyst to remove the coke using for example aromatic solvent.
- the regeneration of the catalyst may include heating the catalyst to a temperature of at least 500 degrees C.
- the temperature of the regeneration treatment may be for example at least 500 degrees C, preferably at least 550 degrees C, for example 580 degrees C or more. It will be understood that a high temperature of treatment will be desirable to burn off the coke, but that very high temperatures will not be preferred in some cases because of the risk of reducing significantly the performance of the catalyst, for example due to metal sintering and/or zeolite thermal stability problems.
- the regeneration of the catalyst used in the second stage may have added complexity where a metal is present in the catalyst as this can be affected adversely during the regeneration process. For example, the metal may sinter if a high temperature method is used. However, such sintered metals can be redispersed by an appropriate method such as treatment with carbon monoxide.
- the first stage catalyst system for the synthesis of methanol and/or DME may be more sensitive to sintering than catalyst of the second stage.
- the separation of the two catalysts into the two stages affords the possibility of regenerating one catalyst
- reaction conditions of the two stages can be tailored for the particular catalyst system of that stage in view of for example, selectivity, lifetime, conversion and/or productivity.
- some catalysts for conversion to methanol and/or DME are known to have excellent lifetimes under certain conditions, which are typically different from those preferred for the desired performance of the catalyst system of the second stage.
- the product hydrocarbons preferably include iso-butane, wherein the proportion of iso-butane is preferably more than 60% by weight of the C 4 saturated hydrocarbons in the product.
- the fraction of C 4 and higher hydrocarbons produced is preferably has a high degree of branching. This can be beneficial for applications in LPG, for example giving a reduced boiling point of the C 4 fraction, and/or for C 5 and higher hydrocarbons for octane number in gasoline.
- the use the product LPG including propane and iso-butane as a chemical feedstock to generate the corresponding olefins is preferable in some cases to using propane and n-butane.

- the molar fraction of methane in the total saturated hydrocarbons produced is less than 10%.
- the molar fraction of ethane in the total saturated hydrocarbons produced is less than 25%.

- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may be active to produce methanol and/or DME in the first stage.
- the apparatus may include at least two reaction vessels in series, including a first reaction vessel including the carbon oxides conversion catalyst, and a second reaction vessel downstream of the first including the dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst.
- Each of the stages may include any appropriate catalyst bed type, for example fixed bed, fluidized bed, moving bed.
- the bed type of the first and second stages may be the same or different.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may comprise a copper oxide.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may include an acidic zeolite and/or a SAPO, preferably with a stable structure such as Mordenite, Y, ZSM-5, SAPO-11, SAPO-34.
- the carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst may comprises one or more of ZSM-5 and SAPO-11.

- apparatus means for controlling the pressure in the two-stage reaction system such that the pressure in the first stage is greater than the pressure in the second stage.
- the pressure may for example be controlled using a valve configuration.
- the apparatus may include back-pressure valves which could be used to control the pressure in the system.
- the apparatus could include two back-pressure valves.
- Examples of the present invention provide a two-stage reaction system exhibiting a high activity (>70% CO conversion in some cases) and selectivity for LPG fraction (>70% in some cases).
- coke deposition can be controlled or managed in the second stage and the selectivity to LPG may be recoverable to at least some extent by using a regeneration treatment, for example coke burning.
- a regeneration treatment for example coke burning.
- syngas is converted to a mixture of methanol and DME at a relatively low temperature in the first stage over a Cu-ZnO- Al 2 0 3 /zeolite system and then converted to hydrocarbons (mainly LPG) at high temperature over a dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst, for example including a metal/zeolite in the second stage.
- hydrocarbons mainly LPG
- Such integrated process can have the characteristic that in preferred examples C0 2 emission may be less compared with a single reactor system.

- a commercial Cu-ZnO-Al 2 0 3 methanol synthesis catalyst from Shenyang Catalyst Corp.
- ZSM-5 from Nankai University Catalyst Ltd.
- This hybrid catalyst (A) was put into the first stage reactor 3 as a methanol and DME synthesis catalyst.
- the ratio of silica to alumina in ZSM-5 was 50.
- the ZSM-5 zeolite was pretreated to become proton-typed before use.
- Pd modified Y zeolite was prepared by the following ion-exchange method. lOg Y zeolite (from Nankai University Catalyst Ltd.) was added to a 200ml solution of PdCl 2 at 60 degrees C with stirring, and maintained for 8h, and then washed with water, dried at 120 degrees C and calcined at 550 degrees C. The Pd-Y was placed into the second stage reactor for methanol/DME conversion to hydrocarbons. The weight ratio of Y-zeolite to palladium in solution was 1 :200. The ratio of silica to alumina in Y was 6. The Y zeolite was pretreated to become proton-typed before use.
- a two-stage reaction system with fixed catalyst bed under pressurized conditions was used.
- the catalysts were first activated at 250 degrees C for 5 hours in a pure hydrogen flow. Subsequently, syngas was fed to the reaction vessels and the reaction carried out using different reaction conditions as described below.
- the hybrid catalyst used for the comparative example one-stage reaction system was prepared by granule mixing Cu-ZnO-Al 2 0 3 methanol synthesis catalyst (from Shenyang Catalyst Corp.) and Pd-Y catalyst (prepared as in Example 1) at 20-40 mesh particle size.
- the weight ratio of Cu-Zn-Al methanol synthesis catalyst to Pd-Y was 7:9.
- the ratio of silica to alumina in Y zeolite was 6.
- a one-stage reaction system with fixed catalyst bed under pressurized conditions was used.
- the catalyst was activated at 250 degrees C for 5h in a pure hydrogen flow.
- the catalyst was evaluated at different reaction conditions as described below.
- Catalyst preparation and catalyst evaluation are similar to those of Example 1, except that silicoalumino phosphate SAPO-11 (from Tianjin Chemist Scientific Ltd.) was used instead of ZSM-5 in the first stage reaction catalyst composition.
- the weight ratio of Cu- ZnO-Al 2 0 3 to SAPO-11 is 1 : 1.
- Catalyst preparation and catalyst evaluation are similar to those of Example 2, except that the weight ratio of Cu-ZnO-Al 2 0 3 to SAPO-11 is 2: 1.
- Table 1 shows that the hybrid catalyst ⁇ - ⁇ - ⁇ 1 2 0 3 / ⁇ - ⁇ demonstrated relatively high activity and more than 76% selectivity for LPG at the initial stage of reaction.
- the conversion of CO decreased from 72% to 66% after 53h of time on stream, and LPG selectivity dropped to 71%.
- the CO conversion decreased more slowly than that previously reported in reference Catalysis Letters, 2005, 102(1-2): 51 due to the relatively low reaction temperature in comparison with the reference (335 degrees C), but LPG selectivity dropped faster than that of the reference. This implied that the higher the reaction temperature was, the faster the Cu-based methanol synthesis catalyst deactivated;
- the higher reaction temperature decreased the yield of heavy hydrocarbons (containing more than five carbon atoms) which may be deleterious for zeolite in some examples. It was identified that high reaction temperature may promote the stability of zeolite and maintain high LPG selectivity for a long time (Catalysis Letters, 2005, 102(1-2): 51). It has been identified that a difficulty of the one-stage reaction system relates to the optimization of working temperatures for Cu-based methanol synthesis catalyst and zeolite, which are absolutely different.
- syngas could be transformed to a mixture of methanol and DME in a first stage at a relatively low temperature (for example ⁇ 250 degrees C) over for example a Cu-ZnO-Al 2 03/ZSM-5 catalyst system and then converted to hydrocarbons for example over Pd/Y in the second stage at high temperature.
- reaction temperature in the first stage would preferably be controlled below 250 degrees C to increase the amount of DME, for example so that DME is the main composition of the intermediate product mixture introduced into the second stage. If different hydrocarbon products are sought, then different temperatures may be more desirable.
- the catalyst system of Example 1 was used in which the first stage included 0.4g Cu- Zn-Al/ZSM-5 and the second stage included 0.5g Pd-Y, and the effect of temperature in the second stage on reaction performance was studied under the pressure of 2.0MPa when the experimental conditions in the first stage were kept constant.
- the first stage was at a temperature of about 250 degrees C, a pressure of about 3.0MPa, and a GHSV of about 2000h ⁇ 1 .
- Table 2 and Figure 4 The results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 4.
- LPG selectivity means LPG selectivity in hydrocarbons
- Table 2 indicates that CO conversion had no evident change in this example when the temperature in the second stage rose from 265 to 440 degrees C.
- DME converted to hydrocarbons nearly totally when the temperature was higher than 335 degrees C.
- LPG became the dominant product in hydrocarbons at higher temperatures. Therefore, in this example, an appropriate temperature for the second stage is 335 - 405 degrees C , in particular where LPG is a target hydrocarbon.
- Example 1 The catalyst system of Example 1 was used and the effect of reaction pressure in the second stage on reaction performance was studied under a second- stage temperature of 370 degrees C when the experimental conditions in the first stage were kept constant; in this example the second stage was operated at a temperature of about 250 degrees C, a pressure of about 3.0MPa, and GHSV of 2000h ⁇ 1 .
- the results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 5.
- LPG selectivity for this experiment means LPG selectivity in hydrocarbons
- Reaction conditions 1 st stage: 250 degrees C, 3.0MPa, 2000 ⁇ "1 , 0.4g Cu-Zn-Al/ZSM-5;
- Table 3 shows that CO conversion was almost unchanged when the reaction pressure in the second stage increased from 0.5MPa to 2.5MPa. It suggested that the pressure of the second stage had no effect on CO conversion. Hydrocarbons selectivity ascended a little as the pressure was increased. LPG selectivity went up first with the increase in reaction pressure, and then fell down. Also, a higher reaction pressure was seen to enhance the yield of methane in this experiment (3.8% at 0.5MPa and 9.6% at 2.5MPa). This is undesirable in these examples because methane is considered to be the most unfavorable product in this process. Therefore, it is identified that, for this experiment, a low reaction pressure, for example between about from 1.0 to 2.0MPa is appropriate for the second stage where LPG is the desired product. If other products are favoured, other conditions may be used.
- Figure 6 shows CO conversion and LPG selectivity in a two-stage reaction system as a function of time on stream.
- CO conversion was seen to decrease from 80% to 71% during the initial 72 hours of the experiment at the initial temperature of 230 degrees C, and was kept to a level of higher than 71% throughout this experiment by the gradual increase of temperature in the first stage from 230 degrees C to 250 degrees C.
- the increase of reaction temperature for keeping the CO conversion stable was thought to imply a slow deactivation of Cu-Zn- Al/ZSM-5 catalyst in stage 1 ; this was thought to be due at least in part to the sintering of Cu.
- Table 4 The performance of two-stage reaction system as a function of time on stream
- LPG selectivity in this experiment means LPG selectivity in hydrocarbons; R means regeneration of Pd-Y in the second stage.
- 2 nd stage 350 degrees C, l .OMPa, 0.5g Pd-Y Pd-Y in the second stage was seen to demonstrate high LPG selectivity of 78% after the initial activation period, and then dropped to 65% after 300 hours on stream.

- the temperature of the regeneration treatment in this example was 580 degrees C.
- a regeneration treatment was carried out after 300 hours, 700 hours and 832 hours, as indicated by the arrows in the graph of Figure 6.

The Pd-Y was placed into the second stage reactor for methanol conversion to hydrocarbons. The weight ratio of palladium in solution to Y-zeolite was 1 :200.
